To prevent the cutter deck from teetering, all four
(4) cutter deck hanging chains must have tension
on them. If all four chains do not have tension on
them and the deck teeters, you must readjust the
cutter deck as outlined in the procedures above.
All measurements should be taken from the top
edge of the deck as the Velocity Plus decks have
an uneven bottom edge.
CUTTER DECK HEIGHT
The cutter deck height adjustment is made to ensure that
the cutter deck is cutting at the height indicated on the
cutting height index gauge. To check for proper deck height,
be sure that the mower is on a flat, level surface and the
tires are properly inflated.
Place the cutter deck in the transport position. 1.
Loosen the jam nuts on both ends of the deck height
control rod. See Figure 6-7.

Check the cutter deck cutting height by placing the 3.
lanyard pin in the 3" position on the cutting height
index. Release the deck from the transport position
and allow the deck to move to the 3" cutting height
position.
Check the measurement from the floor to the 4.
cutter blade tip. If the measurement is not at 3",
an adjustment can be made using the deck height
control rod. See Figure 6-7.

If an adjustment had to be made, be sure that the
cutter deck can easily be locked into the transport
position.
CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE ADJUSTMENT 6.7
The Custom-Cut Baffle is designed to deliver optimum
airflow and superior cutting performance in any type of
grass. The Custom-Cut Baffle can be raised or lowered to
precisely tailor the deck's performance for the type of grass
being cut. The baffle can be set in three (3) (early models),
or seven (7) (current production) different positions for
optimum performance.
3-POSITION CUSTOM-CUT BAFFLE
ADJUSTMENT - EARLY MODELS
A. 3" Position - (See Figure 6-9). Baffle is installed
using the top set of holes on the front baffle welded
inside the cutter deck. In this position the Velocity-Plus
cutter deck will deliver the best quality-of-cut in very
tall, wiry, tough to cut grass.
